EMOJI HATCH ALONG 5/18 incubation

[athomas718]

This is our first hatch along at our brand new farm!! We have two Nature Right incubators ready to go.
We will be setting 30 (plus a few more) eggs. They will be dark/gold/blue Brahmas, Brahmacaunas, OE/EE eggs from Darling Poultry and Honey Bea Homestead, in Maine.

Honey Bea’s dozen are under Ameraucana roo with hens from: BCM, green queens, cuckoo, wyandottes, F1 OE, and some splash Ameraucana.

Darling Poultry will provide the Brahmas, Brahmacaunas, and OE/EE.

My daughter (the artist) will be penciling emojis on each egg. There will be a new post when we get the eggs tomorrow with the egg and its associated emoji. We have decided to use these emojis. I’m putting them here in case any of them don’t post (broken image).



Plus if we get a few extra

Thanks! Looking forward to share the excitement!! I’m going to post some pics of the Brahmas from Darling Poultry’s facebook to show examples of what we might get.

Oops!

Alrighty People, these eggs need your blessings and love and support!!! Take your pick and I’ll put your name next to the egg you are rooting’ for. Any eggs that were infertile or quitters you can go ahead and pick a new one. I have 46 (they gave me so many extras!!) so let’s make one egg per person, maybe you can have two since I don’t know if 46 ppl will come in on the fun! (first incubator post)
